Hi there! I´ve had a very intense week but finally i´ve managed to make some time to upload some new pictures!

For today I wanted to show a very summery and easy-to-achieve look. The key to this look is in the shorts! These can´t be bought anywhere, they´re homemade… which is pretty good, especially during this time of the year when your wallet is broke. Grab a pair of old jeans, measure how short you want your shorts to be and CUT (use fabric-cutting scissors, not the one from elementary school). Don´t cut the pocket´s lining, since the idea is for them to stick out and be visible. I have the idea that they add a sexy and original touch (and if the lining is colored, even better!). If you feel like it, you can also rip and wear them out a little more for more of a rocker feel. And voila! New shorts for $0.

I hope you like the pictures! Ale, a really good friend of mine, was awesome enough to volunteer and take my pictures. We ventured along the railways to do something more creative. After all, we were in “rocker mode” –a.k.a rebellious!-.

One of the biggest and most important passions in my life, besides fashion, is music. I strongly believe that everything in life is BETTER with music. Tidying up my stuff, working out, driving, working, cleaning and waiting -among other things- becomes easier and even delightful to me while listening to music. In another time i fantasized with the idea of having a career in music, i even sang with a band named "Bonita Pietila", i loved it! But now i have music as a background and i enjoy it from another standpoint. If you have band suggestions, they´re very welcome! I like adding new sounds.Now let´s get to it! For todays outfit i´m wearing a recent acquisition. My beautiful mother gave me a few gifts a few days ago and one of those things was this T-Shirt. I love it because 1) its stripped -love it!- 2) it says LOVE -cute!- and 3) its asymmetrical. I put the outfit together to go with this tee. To make sure it stood out, i paired it with a gray pleated skirt and matching flats. This outfit doesn´t show the real shape of the body, actually it creates a different silouette where fabric and shapes play together. Light and loose clothes like these are a MUST on summer... they provide freshness and freedom. I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting my blog!Jannine :)

One of the most important people in my life is Vieji, my grandma. She´s an incredible woman and I happen to admire her in many ways… for her profound spirituality, for her commitment, for her energy, for her neverending thirst for learning new things and enjoying life to the fullest. She rides her bicycle, she´s also a life-long photographer (now with a digital cam), she uses Skype and is an excellent cook. What else could you ask of her? Every day spent with Vieji is unique. She´s always open to hear my ideas and what´s best she´s always supportive of me.

The pictures for this post were taken at her house. Together we chose elements to make them more interesting, such as the ladder and the old table cloth. As to the outfit itself I wanted to show how you can mix different textures without saturating a look. What´s important is to balance and connect the clothes. The top i´m wearing was Vieji´s. Cute, right? How about you... do you have a cool grandma like me? Have you ever taken clothes from her and reinvented them to fit your style?
